everyone agrees israel has the right to protect itself, but might it be sometimes that israel's best protection is to not attack? when you think about people in hamas and hezbollah, when they were martyrs when they die during fighting, they go to heaven and get posters of themselves put on the street forever. they want to be martyrs, so whatever attack israel launches, hamas keeps going because they want to die. the person they killed, the head of hamas' military wing was in the midst of considering a cease-fire. he was a person who could have made that happen. so in taking him out, they sort of damaged the potential for a long-term cease-fire. is israel taking a step backwards in being so aggressive here? >> not at all. as a matter of fact, i happen to believe that the narrative of this is that as long as hamas continues to fire terrorist missiles into israel and israel's compelled to retaliate, hamas is setting up the stage for major civilian casualties. it's as if every missile that hamas fires at israel is going to result in almost the suicide of its own people, and that is reall
